BIOGRAPHY
When it comes to Deanna Bogart, everyone wants to claim her as their own --
her hometown, her fans, her fellow musicians and even her instruments. She's
that good–and that good-natured.
Born in Detroit, Deanna spent her early years in Phoenix and New York City,
climbing on any available piano bench to plunk and play with preternatural
panache. Around the age of six, she was "gently removed" from
the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music for playing piano by ear instead of
learning to read music. While in middle school, Deanna yearned to play the
saxophone. Typical of those times though, she was told, "Girls play the
clarinet, not the sax." Thankfully for us all, that tide has changed.
Today, Deanna Bogart is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist and
multifaceted musician whose fans value the diversity of her genre-free zone.
As a bandleader / singer / songwriter / producer / pianist /sax
player, Deanna combines the best of boogie-woogie, contemporary blues,
country and jazz into a splendid blend she calls “blusion.”
Deanna's fusion of blusion -- spontaneous, sophisticated, fearless and fun
-- has garnered her three consecutive Blues Music Awards' Horn
Instrumentalist of the Year for 2008, 2009 and 2010 and an endorsement
contract with Rico Reeds. She has won, at last count, more than 20 Wammies,
the music awards for the hotly contested Washington, D.C. region.
Recognized for her dazzling keyboards, soulful saxophone, smoky vocals and
cut-above songwriting, Deanna easily wins the hearts of fans on land and at
sea on chartered cruises. She is a featured player in the Legendary
Rhythm and Blues Revue, jamming with Tommy Castro, Magic Dick (founding
member of the J. Geils Band), as well as prominent guitar slingers. Deanna
remembers well her early years as a budding musician and is an avid educator
and mentor, sharing her insight and wisdom with students of all ages.
Perennially popular with a knack for engaging her audience, Deanna has
played for U.S. troops in Iraq, Kuwait and Egypt as part of the “Blues on
the Nile” tour, including performances at Cairo University, the Cairo Opera
House and even a historic concert at the Great Pyramids.
Deanna Bogart's latest ventures include Blind Pig Record's "Pianoland," a
newly minted DVD called "Everybody Has A Story," and “11th Hour,” a CD
released on Vista Records, a company she co-founded.
